Linda makes painting all the time. How she finds time is beyond me. She and her husband LD are always working on projects, plus entertaining all their grandkids. They are the grandparents of a set of quads too. They are with those toddlers at least once a week. Many times more.
If you visit Linda's blog, I know you will wonder," how do they do it?" Linda paints, recycles, plus sews every kid she knows a quilt. LD , her husband, bakes, does plumbing, and carpentry work. They travel together, work together and make family time a priority together.
So I want to thank Linda right here and now for this wonderful gift of this painting. I love it. XO
That is beautiful! What vibrant colors...the scene comes alive, doesn't it? I would need one with a bright sun overhead! Enjoy your day! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteDiane, I bet you could just as easily make a sunshine painting. She paints every Tuesday with a friend or two. She make a new Santa Claus painting every year. Hope your day was fun. Mine was busy. xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat is so awesome! I hope you enjoy it for a long, long time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tete. I have been visiting Linda's blog for some time now. She is one busy woman. Hey, just like you. Hope you are having a good day. It is getting warmer here, turned the AC back on. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI love that. Has it inspired you to go back to painting?
ReplyDeleteKathy Jane you know I need a fire under my butt...I would love to have time to paint again. It's the getting out and putting away...takes the fun out of it. Love you honey, mommy
DeleteI love that picture. It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn!

ReplyDeleteIs that oil or acrylic?
Boston Boy, I love Linda's art. I see it on her blog, she paints every week. That is wonderful that you have some of your dad's art. Maybe you could post picture some time. I think Linda does oils and acrylics. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
